    The Philippines can be very frustrating at times to say the least but you have to remember that they have their ways and nothing you say or do is going to change that. Best thing to do when you feel the urge to slap someone (and we have all felt that way at some point) is to talk slowly, smile and work with them if they don't know how to help you. Nothing good can come from being confrontational or making them feel ashamed...doing that really only assures your day will be much more difficult. I really wonder what these assholes are thinking they are going to achieve when they act like that. (Even in our home countries those attitudes won't get you far.)

    One thing I actually like about the Philippine culture is that if you are kind most people will go out of their way to help you. Some people really need to learn how to make this part of the culture work for them.

    I don't know where this comes from. It is completely unacceptable in our home countries to act like that and you most certainly will get kicked out of any business for acting like that in the US (and I suspect the same is true in Australia and most European countries). Where I come from it is not uncommon for businesses to have a "wall of shame" where names and pictures of people who act like fools/assholes get the honor of being placed. Only some serious @ss kissing to the business owner will get your name taken off that list.

    You think these people have to deal with assholes? Their family working the phones at the call centers have to deal with way worse. Or how about the domestic helpers working abroad? Or nurses? I think the Philippines must be world experts at dealing with assholes. That's why so many flock here. *sshole paradise.

    Cant stand rude people, and today I had a bloody foreigner push in front of me at Lee Plaza at the checkout, but I kept my cool
    and gave the creep a little smile. then kicked him in the shin (accidentally of course) after he had been served, and he was so rude to the checkout chick also, that I could not help myself, but he went to water when I asked him if he had any objections to my little tap on his shin. Bullies are no longer bullies if you stand up to them.
    Bloody foreigners are getting out of control in this country. hahahahaha

    I believe Robinson's Market and their pharmacy along with Jollibee are the only shops open before 10am.

    Brings back great memories....NOT ! I worked in a call center long ago, before most of the centers got shipped overseas. That was a tuff job. You could not put them 'in their place' for being d##kheads either. It would only get you fired.
